Hellboy: Blood & Iron

Well, I’ve gone two weeks without writing a videogame-related post. There’s a reason for that—about two weeks ago, I sort of lost interest in gaming. Burned out, I guess, after four or five months of hardcore videogame obsession. It’s happened to me before; I well remember how obsessively I played Diablo in summer 1997, only [...]

Taken this afternoon in my apt building parking lot

Link to prevent inadvertent horrification (Warning: scary zombie cannibalism graphically depicted!)
Yeah…I got issues.

The Silver…Cycler?

I’ve been chuckling at this picture all morning. (From Marvelous News.)
The unintentional humor factor is pretty high…the needs-more-fiber pose, the semi-nudity, the detailed ass-crack, the “splat” graphic behind his butt…and of course, the fact that he’s the Silver Surfer and he’s riding a motorcycle.
I hated toys like this when I was a kid. Even then [...]

Weekend wrap-up

DG and I had a pretty low-key weekend. We saw Knocked Up on Friday—great movie, destined to be a classic on par with When Harry Met Sally or There’s Something About Mary. I highly recommend it. It was a nice tonic to all the Blockbuster III movies.
We cancelled our Netflix subscription last week. The DVD [...]

Hellboy game preview

Hellboy’s getting a videogame later this year. It looks like it’s basically a God of War clone, which is fine with me, since I don’t own a PS2 and never got to play GoW. It also seems to me that many of the most enjoyable licensed videogames have borrowed another game’s gameplay (such as Simpsons [...]

Roundhead #6

I’ve decided to relegate Roundhead to Asides.
This week’s strip is the beginning of a Christmas-themed story arc that you’re just going to have to sit through.
On a side note, I think once Roundhead’s run is over, I’ll post my college-era Space Ghost strips.

It makes me cry now, too (but for different reasons)

Ed has a post about his Top Five Summer Movies over at the Ed Zone. It’s a great read, but he neglected to mention my role in one of the anecdotes.
I, too, was in attendance at that double bill of Conan the Destroyer and The Last Starfighter (which makes sense, seeing as how Ed’s Uncle [...]

Wolfman’s got DVDs

I’ve often referred to my love of the 1987 kids’ horror flick The Monster Squad. I’ve been signing online petitions for a DVD for ages. And so it was with great pleasure that I discovered not only is it finally coming out on DVD, but it’s going to be a two-disc special edition! A two-disc [...]
